High Ho off we Go

Awesome App for many of the off-road tracks throughout our travels. Between the Pilbara and now the Southwest, the maps are very comprehensive and great. Love the app and the tracks.

Response from developer

G'day... thank you for using Dirt Map! The app can actually dynamically re-centre when you are on a move. You simply click the top right button (the one with arrow) and it will reposition the map to your location and will start following your direction.

Not what I thought or paid for

When I purchased the ability to use offline maps I had no idea it was only Arizona California and Utah… useless in Texas.

Response from developer

Hi there, this may not be correct. We have the offline map available based on your location when you use the app. May I ask if you are currently located in Texas? Please contact me at Kelvin@dirtmap.com and I will assist you to get the offline map for Texas.

It’s ok - honest review

The app is clunky and you have to pay for features that are free and less detailed than Google Maps. I’ll stick with Google maps thanks. Offline Maps.

The gps is highly inaccurate which is ok for driving on a track but for bush walking you need the accuracy as there are not always made tracks to follow. Don’t rely on this app to keep you from getting lost.

Map Tracking should be on by default and being able to upload a kml file for saving and compatible with other apps like Google Earth would be a good start. As far as I can tell you can’t go back to a point in the track and view your speed, altitude, position and time like you can with Kml data.

I give 1 extra star for being able to run in the background but battery usage is a killer 7% in 33 minutes.

Hi there, we are here to assist if you have any difficulties using the app. For example, our GPS is highly accurate as it's using your phone's GPS. However, if your area is block the satellite signal, it may be preventing you from receiving accurate signal. Map tracking is already available. You can simply record trip and it will record your track in real time. Map Tracking is not enabled by default as it will consume more power from your batteries. We support .GPX files. We are looking to introduce kml files shortly. ONce again thank you for your feedback. We will continuously improve our Dirt Map.

Best Mapping App

No more H**A Maps for me. The one of subscription and the quality of the maps around the Vic High Country are Awesome

Response from developer

Thank you for the great compliment OzzieBigT!

Paid Lic , download not fully detailed

Paid to have the ability to download & work offline when not in mobile range. Tested the functionality & learnt that while you do get to download and can access this download map when offline, it is not anywhere as detailed as when online!!! Not very happy with that.

Response from developer

Hi WillowLM, the offline map may take some time to fully download as there are 2 stages of download in the background. Have you already checked the map is fully downloaded? If you can send me an email kelvin@dirtmap.com and I will assist you further. Thank you

No bad but not the most intuitive app

Does have contours and is helpful as a guide.
I use this app but would prefer if the app had greater detail and some mapping basics.

Some examples:

Lacks a legend and info such as contour step information.

Hard to get info on track names by tapping on or highlighting with centre marker.

River and creek names are elusive until you zoom right in then they are blue writing on blue background

Hi B-1972, thank you for the feedback. Please send us an email to kelvin@dirtmap.com and I am happy to assist you. Our mapping source is using OpenStreetMap thus some details may not be shown until you zoom in. If there are any specific use cases, we can address this. Thank you.

Brilliant.

This is the only maps app I will use, gets updated regularly and gets better every time, can’t recommend enough.

My Go-to App

Great design, fast, easy to read and modern interface. Highly recommended.

Great app

It’s now my go to four wheel driving exploring out heaps of detail well done cheers

Excellent 4wd Navigation app!!

This is now my main 4wd navigation map after using Mud maps 3, Avenza, ExploreOz and Newtracs.

Maps have great detail and definition, and the map colours and contrasting used makes the tracks,roads easy to see and find at a glance with the track names very visible. The user interface is very clean and intuitive, the ability to add a marker on the fly very simple and quick.

The trip recording works brilliantly. I record all my trips religiously and importing them from my previous app was a breeze. Unlike Mud Maps I can have all my recorded trips displayed permanently.

The ability to add folders and sort trips is another plus.

The sync accounts feature is definitely one of those things you never knew you needed until you had it. It being really useful In convoys to track others as well as letting the family know where you are.

The developer is constantly improving and updating the app and listening to feedback so looking forward to what will become of an already great app.

Best Mapping App

I have a love and hate relationship with all my previous apps that I have used. I have used Hema, Avenza, Memory Maps. They all have something wrong with especially Hema which was my go to. So glad I have found Dirt Map. Much more reliable, Easy of use, Details of the map, Route Planning, Turn by Turn navigation to your camp site, or 4x4 track. No need for Google maps any more. This thing just works. Developer is adding features daily based on user feedback. Highly recommended.

Moving with the times

Been using the app for a while now and has been awesome seeing new features added on a regular bases. Great single map screen that works great offline. Have tried other platforms and feel that Dirtmap is a platform by the users for the users.
Great work guys

Top map for 4wding, hiking and motorbiking

I use this app for motorbiking 4wding and hiking and it is awesome. Amazing detail, fail safe trip recording and knowing where points of interest and toilets are is amazing with a kid.

Best off road mapping yet

I have tried a few of the others, and dirt map is the easiest one to use, plus the mapping seems seamless. Very happy with it and highly recommend!

Excellent App

A really great app to use. Very reliable in the bush 👍

High recommended

Maps are very reliable. Great function and easy to use. Would recommend it rather than hema or Newtracs

Great

What a great App for planning and going on 4wd trips. Easy to use and accurate. Cant wait to use on a Flinders Ranges trip in August.
